it would help sal's team again but who cares you team gets better. numero uno is what matters be selfish

I guess this is the first time you are posting some sort of analysis that is beyond my team gets better so I commend you for that.

BUT...

1. Numero Uno is what matters - In Tek's case, he was looking at having a bunch of studly players being thrown back into the pool (from Sal and before you decided to throw a monkey wrench into that idea), and you have the number 2 pick in the draft and should be able to land one of them. Why trade away the pick to Sal again? Not following the logic there. From what I see, landing Millsap who produced 2nd round value last season with a 1st=6th round pick seems like a no brainer.
Also, Numero Uno is the one who wins at the end of the season, not the one with best core (although that definitely helps). Best core = Sal. Team to beat = Sal. So, how does giving him better picks to improve your core and in your case not having a pick until the 3rd=8th round help you become Numero Uno at the end of the season? Seems like you are just stacking the deck against yourself... but I will wait for your helpful and useful response to my question.

dude you think if I kept all my draft picks and the core of players that came with that team I would be better off then all the trades I did get the core I have now. I took over a team with a core of manu ginobili, david west, devin harris, josh howard. I did what I had to do to get this core.

if you had my team and kept your draft picks you would not have a core of amare, aldridge, monta ellis, carmelo and rajon rondo.

SO to make it clear how would you have made your team better to get the core I have. maybe I paid to much but who cares my team got better. I would have gaven the same trades to other players besides sal if they had those players I wanted

just saying

also in regards to not trading 2nd pick in the draft why wouldn't you do that and get both demarcus cusins and paul millsap or javale mcgee by trading down in the draft as oppose to just landing one of those players by keeping the 2nd pick in the draft. LIKE I SAID WHO CARES AS LONG AS YOU GET YOUR TEAM BETTER and tekopp's team in my opinion would be better with demarcus cousins, paul millsap/javale mcgee, deron willilams, brook lopez and danillo gallinary/wesley mathews then to just keep the 2nd pick in the draft. even at the expense of making sal's team better

JUST SAYING

Frankly i don't like any of the trades that you've performed thus far, so why don't you just keep your opinions about other peoples team to yourself

and more importantly ... stop causing drama... you're quickly becoming "that guy" in the league.

Thinking the same thing. Was going to give Nene 30min extra just in case. I have my picked lined up already and sent Cave my list just in case I can't make it to the comp. Being on the east coast, I really can't be staying up every night to wait for my pick.
